While we where talking about the "braces tooltips" and coloring, I got to test another extension from the marketplace which has one feature that VA definitely should have:
Beats context info for braces (and "rainbow braces") by many lengths, allows for context marking, context selection, jump to begin/end, and much more.
If it wasnt for all the other clutter in this "not to be named" extension, I would just keep it.
Please add this to VA. Once you tried this feature you cant live without it. |

They are interactive with the structure, not only informative. Seen imlemented like this in an extension available on the marketplace.
What's the name of this extension? |

We are constantly working on both new features and bug fixes. VS2022 has been a big focus, and problems still crop up now and then. But I do understand, and new features are always something to look forward to. |

Interesting. What extension precisely?
Indeed, we might be waiting a long time 
At the risk of being cynical, the number of new feature additions has been on the decline for 2 or 3 years (since the VA Company was taken over?).
If only the number of new releases could equal the number of marketing emails I receive...  |

Interesting, I have added notes about this to our feature request for something similar. The idea has come up a few times over the years, and it is certainly something to look into and consider:

If you don't mind can you email me the link / name of the extension, and I can try it here? The idea is interesting, I am just trying to get a clearer sense of how much this adds. |

Checking both VS2019 and VS2022, C++ and C#, the IDE is showing dotted lines indicating the indent level, and when you hover the mouse over the indent line, which is solid in this screen shot, you get a tooltip showing you the details of the surrounding scopes. This screen shot shows what I am seeing in C++ in VS2019:
